Milks, etc other than soy?

2 part question here all:

I do like soy milk and soy cheeses, and of course, edamame. I usually eat a few serving or so of
each a day (maybe 1 or 2 slices cheese, edamame in my mixed vegetables at least 1x a day, and
maybe 2 glasses of soy milk). I have seen recent reports (as I'm sure you have) about the dangers
of eating "too much soy." I'm really not sure what constitutes "too much."

Ques 1: I wonder if what I eat is too much? (I'm averaging between like 3 and 5 servings a day)

Soy has phytoestrogens. Estrogens are feminizing. Studies have shown that overconsumption of soy can
lead to feminizing of males. I'll leave you to do your own study, but consider the "high protein
vegan" thread from a few days ago, in which I left some of the following links:

A little soy is probably beneficial, but you many not want your testicles shrinking, etc. Too much
of even good things is not good.

I do eat other beans pretty regularly too, but I'm thinking of trying some alternative milks and
cheeses. I've seen rice cheese, and almond cheese (what's in VeganRella - is it soy?). I figure if
I can rotate them in every once in a while, that would be good, maybe 1 serv soy cheese, 1 serv
alt-cheese. As for the milks, there are like a million diff kinds out here - oat, rice, almond,
and I'm sure some I've missed. I've tried all of them, and they're all pretty good (I really like
the almond - very yummy).

Ques 2: Of the alt-milks out there, which do you think would be best for someone trying to watch
their weight (i.e. lower calories)?

Rice milk is pretty much just a sweet-starchy water. Some of the nutmilks taste quite nice (not
"just like" milk, naturally) but also tend to be higher in fat. Lower calories? Try more water.
